7 years & 3 kids later…

…we are attempting to purchase our very first house.  we put in an offer, the offer was accepted. we had an inspection and went over it yesterday with the realtor.  we made  a small list of things we are requesting the seller take care of and are now waiting for the seller to get back to us.  craziness!!

the house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood.  just beyond the fence of the back yard, there is a park.  the house is just over 1200 sq feet, has 3 bedrooms, and needs no major work.  and it has a big fenced in back yard. and it’s all one level (i’m not a fan of stairs anymore after living in a few places with them, haha).

thought i would share some pictures of the house i took yesterday:

the front

from the front door

from the front door…those window things look down into a family room

the family room (this used to be a garage, apparently).

from the window in the family room.

the small kitchen. it as decent counter space, so i think i can deal.  plus it won’t cost much to remodel eventually :).  i want to build a pantry in that corner at the right of the picture.

half bath/laundry room (right off the dining room).

another view of the kitchen

bathroom, obviously…

linen closet just outside of bathroom

back of house from back yard. there is a storm cellar on the right of the deck.

building behind trees is the hospital (i told jonathan if we have another baby, i could just walk to the hospital when i’m in labor, haha).

back of the park from the yard (this is going to be so handy with nice weather!).

i have much to catch up on here on the blog…the kiddos, crafts, things God has been teaching me/reminding me of, my almost 5 year old (sniff!)…but that will have to wait for another day.  we are getting ready to go to a playdate with some new friends (a little girl liberty’s age!). 

i will share this verse i read yesterday. Psa. 94:19

“When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.”

blessings to you!
